Scholars have identified these caryatid supports with nagas and nagins which are Hindu snake divinities considered auspicious and are believed to provide protection, especially from snake bites. These exotic cabinets were produced for Portuguese merchants and traders at Indian and Goanese ports in the 17th century. Goa, the Indian state, was part of the Portuguese overseas empire from the 16th century until 1961. The attribution to Goa is based on closely related church furniture which exists in the sacristy of the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Old Goa. There are similar examples in museum collections in Portugal and the United Kingdom in the Palacio Nacional de Sintra, the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, Lisbon and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London museum no. 777-1865.
